hey /lit/

I don't often have a lot of time to set aside for reading or learning about new works and progressing through literature. Out of everything I've managed to finish these are the works I've found to have any kind of profoundness. Call it pleb if you want cause it probably is. I tried to go through others like crime and punishment, the brothers karamazov, anna karenina, etc but those were too long for me and I didn't really 'get' them.

Can anyone give recommendations based on this taste?

I want to discover new literature to love but I want something that's accessible to me

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Read some more Kafka, the metamorphosis is pretty neato and his shorter stories are good too (meditation)

Try out dracula too, if you liked frankenstein you might like it too, and Candide by Voltaire would be a good addition to the list
